Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

The next morning after defeating Norwich, the Chelsea team, led by head coach Mourinho, took a chartered plane to Romania.

After all, the important Champions League match against Steaua Bucharest on October 2 was just around the corner.

Chelsea, who was defeated by Basel in the first round, must defeat Steaua Bucharest this time, otherwise it would be difficult to qualify for the group stage.

In order for the players to adapt to the venue and time difference as soon as possible, it is necessary to arrive early.

Li Lei, who got off the plane, was a little stunned by the unfamiliar environment in front of him. This was his first time in Romania.

""Go! What are you standing there for?" Captain Terry reminded as he passed by.

"Good captain."

After this episode, Li Lei followed his teammates on the bus that came to pick them up.

Steaua Bucharest not only occupies a dominant position locally, but is also one of the giants in Eastern Europe.

The glory of its winning the Champions League in 1986 is still talked about today.

Although it is no longer the king of the year, Chelsea should not be underestimated when facing this Eastern European powerhouse at home.

When the bus arrived at the hotel in Bucharest, Li Lei was still immersed in the novelty of his first visit to Eastern Europe.

However, when he walked into the hotel and heard the noisy noise made by the home team fans outside the door, the expression on his face froze.

It turned out that a large number of Bucharest fans had already gathered outside the hotel, shouting slogans, knocking on the railings, and making deafening noises.

They came just to prevent Chelsea players from sleeping.

Li Lei looked at the noisy fans outside the door a little at a loss. Terry came over and patted him on the shoulder, smiled and said:"Are you surprised to encounter such a scene for the first time? I was also shocked when I was young, but you will get used to it slowly."

"Thank you, Captain. I will adapt as soon as possible. Li Lei said with a red face.

"Don't be afraid young people, the louder the noise they make, the more afraid they are of us."

"Here! Take this pair of earplugs. They will be useful in the next two nights." Terry gave Li Lei his spare earplugs and said,"Have a good rest, and see what happens tomorrow!"

Li Lei looked at the earplugs in his hand and looked forward to the game even more.

The temperature in Bucharest is similar to that in London. It only took Li Lei two days to fully adapt to the environment here.

In the pre-match training, he felt that his physical condition was good and he could already perform at his best level.

On October 2, the National Stadium in Bucharest was packed with spectators, and the spirited home team fans became the highlight of the game.

Li Lei and his teammates were making final preparations in the locker room, and everyone was in high spirits.

The coach also reminded the players to be wary of the pressure brought by the sea of flags and atmosphere at the National Stadium.

As soon as the game started, Li Lei noticed the tactical arrangements of Steaua Bucharest.

Most of the players retreated to defense, leaving only a single forward roaming in the center circle. Obviously, their plan was to defend with all their strength and strive for a draw.

Chelsea controlled the strategic initiative and continued to break through and shoot, but Bucharest's defense was as solid as a rock.

And after each successful steal, their forwards would quickly counterattack, threatening

The two sides were in a stalemate from the beginning of the game.

As the game continued, the gap in strength between the two teams gradually emerged, and Chelsea's siege of Bucharest became more and more fierce. In the 25th minute, Hazard broke through the opponent's defense with a breakthrough in the middle, which caught the Bucharest defenders off guard.

Hazard seized the opportunity and shot hard, and the ball went into the net! 1:0 took the lead.

In the 40th minute of the game, Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity.

Li Lei's precise pass found Lampard, who turned around after receiving the ball outside the penalty area and saw the right time for a long-range sniper.

The ball whizzed away like a bullet, and the Bucharest goalkeeper had no time to react before the ball hit the net.!

"Bang!" Lampard kicked the ball hard and changed the score to 2:0!

This wonderful world Bo Yuan shot made the home fans silently, and could only silently watch the Chelsea players running to Lampard to celebrate. Chelsea faced the solid defensive defensive against Bologast, but it could not cause much threats. There are not many. After the second half , the status of Chelsea is still in good condition. Li Lei also sent assists again in this game, and his performance was still excellent. The two -game losing streak is temporarily at the end.
